Anyone know much about Putin's religious mentor

[defacto7]

1. I usually don't beat a dead horse or a dead thread for that matter

But I'm curious why there are no comments whatsoever in GD or this one about Aleksandr Dugin. Is it fake info or CS? If it is I would really like to know it. If it's true that he is the philosophical mentor of Putin, it's serious shit. He pushes world domination through fascism and the Russian Orthodox Church. He is calling for the destruction of the US and Europe by any means including nuclear annihilation of the west... and he really likes Trump or at least thinks he's a means to his ends.
We know Putin is a strong believer in Russian Orthodoxy. We also know there us a strong anti-west Russian Orthodox extremist movement in Russia. I think knowing what mystical brain influence Putin is subjuct to is highly pertinent to knowing what we are up against and it's effect on US politics. Let me know if you think I'm off base here.
Here's a couple of the many sites pertaining to this guy...
